What Good Is It: blues sonnet What good is it to stand and curse the dark? Yes, in the dark of night, to curse the dark? If you want some more light, create a spark. What good can come from waiting out your time? What good can you get done, just doing time? To get out of a pit, you need to climb.

What good is it to stand and curse the dark? Yes, in the dark of night, to curse the dark? If you want some more light, create a spark.

The Ride: blues stanza Fasten your seat belts, we're off for a ride. All of us living, together we ride. Like it or not, you don't get to decide. Maybe we'll travel and learn to be friends. Could be the mileage will make us all friends. The long journey on which the future depends.

Fasten your seat belts, we're off for a ride. All of us living, together we ride. Like it or not, you don't get to decide. #PoetSky #Poetry #BlueSkyPoets #PoeticForms

Suppositions: blank verse There's no such thing, he said, as what should be; for if there were, we'd all just waste our time imagining how other folks should live, instead of living in the here and now.

Your Feet Know the Way: benison Your path begins there at your feet; the first move is the hardest one. Until the last step is complete you will not know the task is done. Along the way, you'll see the world; you'll wonder why, and how, and when, and sift through miles of sand, and pearls, each whole day through, and then again.

Your path begins there at your feet; the first move is the hardest one. Until the last step is complete you will not know the task is done.

The World’s Not Like That: awdl gywydd If the earth were made of cheese, and the seas made just of ink, soda crackers would be gold, traded for things cold to drink. But the world is not like that, or else the rats would run it; furthermore, it seems to me a fantasy to dream it.

If the earth were made of cheese,
and the seas made just of ink,
soda crackers would be gold,
traded for things cold to drink.

The Blunderbuss Dragon: amphigory Behold the dragon come alive: not breathing fire, but spewing jive and nonsense from its rubber lips, and poison from its finger tips! It cannot speak except to squawk, and is too pendulous to walk, except some strutting to and fro in front of mirrors that it loves so.

Behold the dragon come alive:
not breathing fire, but spewing jive
and nonsense from its rubber lips,
and poison from its finger tips! #Poetry #PoetSky #PoeticForms

2025 April PAD Challenge: Day 15 On the 15th day of the 2025 April Poem-A-Day Challenge, writers are challenged with the third Two-for-Tuesday prompt of the month.

Day 15 of the 2025 April Poem-A-Day Challenge is the 3rd Two-for-Tuesday prompt: write a poetic form poem and/or anti-form poem.

I was so inspired that I personally wrote a poem that's a #sestina AND #acrostic (new name: #sestinacrostic).

Recrimination: alcaics There really isn't anything fantastic in how the world is currently eroding; it's not a sudden, haunting nightmare that cropped up silent out of nowhere. The dream is over; everyone awakens and cries out, "What is happening, America?" but doesn't want the blame for sleeping nor think they are the cause for crying.

a topophila try my new poetry form!

I know I mostly post plants here, but I’m actually a poet. This is a form I created that others have enjoyed (a happy biproduct of sharing it online) do check it out! (Can I find some fellow poets on this app?) open.substack.com/pub/sarahjea... #poets #poeticforms #poetry

What Survives My poem “What Survives” was just published by Panoply, a Literary Zine. A cento is a poetic form composed entirely of lines from poems by other poets. It comes from the Latin word for p…

Oh my head my head! This migraine has nothing to do with the villanelle. At least I don't THINK so... #poeticforms #migraine

A risky approach to redrafting this morning: ditch all but one word of one of the villanelle's refrains. #poeticforms #creativeprocess

The villanelle is making rustling noises in the corner. I fear it may have mutated while I've been away. #poeticforms #writing
